While in conversation with The Schmo, Shannon Briggs offered his perspective on the prospect of MMA fighters crossing over to the squared circle at the Triller Triad Combat event. Briggs expressed his concerns regarding MMA fighters being bound to only one facet of their usual form of fighting, striking.
